The biodegradation and water absorption properties of lignin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibrous webs are investigated. Lignin/PVA nanofibrous webs containing 0, 50, and 85wt% of lignin were prepared via an electrospinning process to observe the effect of the lignin concentration on the biodegradability and water absorption properties of lignin/PVA nanofibrous webs. The morphology of the materials was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). To understand the wetting behavior and hydrophilic nature of the electrospun lignin/PVA nanofibrous webs, the water absorbency, contact angle, and water uptake were examined. The enzymatic degradation of lignin/PVA nanofibrous webs was investigated using laccase by measuring total organic carbon (TOC) concentration over a course of 50 days. Water drops were absorbed immediately into all of the specimens. The water uptake of lignin/PVA nanofibrous webs increased as the amount of PVA in the lignin/PVA hybrid webs increased. The enzymatic degradation experiment indicated that the inherent biodegradability of lignin was retained after its transformation into nanofibers. Our findings imply that blending these two types of polymers is promising because it can lead to the development of a new range of multifunctional materials such as antimicrobial absorbent nanotextiles based on sustainable biopolymers.

The PVA (poly-vinyl alcohol) insulators were spun coated onto ITO coated glass substrates with the capacitors of Glass/ITO/PVA/Al structure. The effects of PVA concentrations (3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 wt%) on the morphology and electrical properties of the films were investigated. As the concentration of PVA increased from 3.0 to 5.0 wt%, the leakage current of device decreased from 17.1 to 0.23 pA. From the AFM measurement, the RMS value decreased with increasing PVA concentration, showing the improvement of insulator film roughness. The capacitances of the films with PVA concentrations of 4.0 and 5.0 wt% were about 28.1 and 24.2 nF, respectively. The lowest leakage current of 1.77 PA was obtained at the film thickness of 117.5 nm for the device with fixed PVA concentration of 5.0 wt%.

어랙틱 폴리(비닐 알코올)(PVA) 수용액 시스템의 준희박농도에서의 고분자 사슬의 구조 및 거동을 살펴보기 위하여, 온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서 광산란 실험을 실시하였다. 산란 벡터 q에서 얻은 산란광의 세기 I(q)는 Onstein-Zernike 식으로 해석이 불가능하여 단순히 $I(q){\sim}q^{-m}$을 이용하여 fractal 차원 m을 얻었다. 그 결과 농도 3 wt% 이상에서는 $m=2.6{\pm}0.3$으로 일정하게 유지되었다. 동적 광산란으로 얻은 시간상관함수에는 항상 빠른 거동과 느린 거동의 두 종류가 공존하였으며, 빠른 거동의 협동확산계수는 reptation 이론의 농도의존지수 값(=3/4)과 달리 농도 의존성이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 또한 느린 거동은 거대한 크기의 불균일 영역대의 운동으로 해석되며, 이 거동의 농도지수는 -3.0으로써 매우 강한 농도 의존성을 보여 주었다. 이 불균일 영역대의 형성에는 어택틱 PVA의 -OH기 4개의 메소(meso)가 입체 규칙적으로 배향한 부분이 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각되어진다.

본 연구는 직접메탄을 연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell)에 적용가능한 양이온교환막 개발에 관한 것으로 PVA/PAM/ZrP 막을 제조하여 PAM, ZrP의 함량 및 농도 변화에 따른 막의 특성을 연구하였다. PVA/PAM/ZrP 막은 PVA에 가교제인 PAM의 함량을 7∼11 wt%로 증가시켜 제조하였으며 그 각각의 막에 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 zirconyl chloride와 Phosphoric acid solution에 침적시켜 제조하였다. ZrP의 농도를 1, 2 M로 변화시켜 메탄을 투과도, 이온전도도, 함수율 및 이온교환용량을 측정하였다. PVA/PAM/ZrP 막의 메탄올 투과도는 10/^{-8}∼l0^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, 이온전도도는 $10^{-3}~10^{-2}$ S/cm 정도 나타내었으며 함수율은 0.26∼l.17 g $H_2O$/g membrane, 이온교환용량은 2.59∼5.1 meq/g membrane의 결과를 보였는데 이는 PVA/PAM 막과 비교하여 메탄을 투과도, 이온전도도는 각각 18%, 23% 정도 증가한 것으로 관찰되었다.

Due to pronounced mechanical performance and being environmental friendly, aqueous polymer isocyanate adhesive (API) has been widely applied in the production of formaldehyde-free wood products. In this study, flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood was prepared by incorporation of flame retardants into the API adhesive. Partially phosphorylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PPVA) which was prepared by reacting poly (vinyl alcohol) with phosphoric acid was used to replace PVA in API formula. In addition, Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) was chosen as additive flame retardant, replacing traditional filler CaCO₃ in API adhesive formula. And then, the flame retardant API adhesive with main agent (PPVA replacing PVA70wt.%, SBR emulsion 30wt.%), curing agent 10wt.% (accounts for of the main agent), and 20wt.% LDHs (accounts of the main agent) was used to prepare flame retardant plywood. The effect of application of PPVA and Mg-Al LDH on bonding strength of plywood was investigated. The flammability characteristics of the plywood were determined by cone calorimeter test (CCT). The results revealed that compared with the plywood prepared with API adhesive, the use of PPVA and LDH enhanced the flame retardancy of plywood without negatively affecting bonding strength. The CCT tests indicated that the heat release and smoke production flame retardant API plywood were lower than those of the ordinary API glued plywood. Promising developments for flame retardant API adhesive were expected in future applications of flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood.

Three-dimensional network hydrogels were prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and glycerol (Gly). Oven-drying was used to measure the gel fraction (G), hydration (H) or swelling behavior (S) of the prepared hydrogels. This study made a hypothesis that hydrogen bonds due to addition of glycerol and change of dry states such as freeze-drying (FD), room-drying (RD) and oven-drying (OD) acts on the G, H, and S. Interesting results on the hydrogen bonding effect in the prepared hydrogels are monitored at different drying conditions. The FD samples have a higher G values with increase in glycerol content as compared with the OD and RD samples. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding network among Gly molecules and hydrogel matrix was considered as the main driving force, resulting in the changes in the G, H, and S of the hydrogels under different drying conditions.

The state of compatability of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and methyl cellulose(MC), prepared by an aqueous solution casting, were investigated over the entire compositions by dynamical mechanical analyzer(DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The glass transition temperatures of the blends, estimated by DMA, indicate that the blends of PVA and MC showed a definite degree of partial miscibility by showing two glass transition temperatures below 80 wt % MC contents in the blends and one glass transition temperature above 80 wt % of MC contents. The DSC results show a depression of melting point and crystallization temperature of PVA in the blends containing more than 80 wt % MC. This indicates that a considerable compatibility in the blend above 80 wt % MC contents may be attribute to the presence of interaction of hydroxyl groups of component polymers through hydrogen bonding. The DMA study of the effect of plasticizer on the polymers showed that water was a good plasticizer for PVA and PEG400 for MC. The addition of water and PEG400 in the blends showed a synergic plasticizing effect on these blends, which resulted in the large extent of the improvement of the compatibility. The elongation of PVA, MC and blonds was found to increase with addition of PEG400 in the blends, but the tensile strength to decrease with addition of plasticizer.

PVA films were crosslinked with dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU) and three polycarboxylic acids of butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), citric acid and malic acid Different factors influencing the crosslinking treatment with BTCA were investigated including BTCA and sodium hypophosphite (SHP) concentration, curing temperature and time. The cured films was extracted with boiling water and gel fraction was calculated based on weight change of the PVA films. The gel fraction of PVA films increased with increasing curing temperature and time. And the resistance to water and thermal stability of the crosslinked PVA films improved with the BTCA crosslinking treatment. While crosslinking with citric acid gave the highest gel fraction among the crosslinkers, crosslinking with malic acid showed the highest absorbancy in 0.9% saline solution, which was attributed to lower crosslink density and high number-average molecular weight between crosslinks. The superabsorbent PVA films could be prepared by adjusting the crosslinking condition of PVA with polycarboxilic acids.

폴리(비닐 알코올)/키토산 블렌드와 블렌드 수화젤 필름을 용액캐스팅 방법으로 제조하였다. 블렌드와 블렌드 수화젤의 상용성에 대해서 전 조성 비율에 걸쳐서 DSC, TGA및 DMA를 이용하여 조사를 하였다. DSC 분석에 따르면 키토산의 비율이 증가하면 블렌드내에서 폴리(비닐 알코올)의 용융점 감소와 결정화온도의 저하가 관측되었다. TGA분석 결과, 키토산은 폴리(비닐 알코올) 보다 열적으로 더 안정하며, 블렌드내에서의 폴리(비닐 알코올)의 열안정성은 단독폴리(비닐 알코올)의 열안정성과 비교하여 더 안정하였는데 이것은 블렌드의 구성고분자 사이에 상호작용이 존재함을 가리킨다. DMA분석으로 키토산과 폴리(비닐 알코올)의 유리전이온도$(T_g)$를 측정하였는데, 각각 160과 $90^{\circ}C$에서 나타났으며, 블렌드의 $T_g$는 블렌드에서 키토산의 함량에 따라서 변화하였다. 블렌드의 열적 및 점탄성의 분석결과는 키토산과 폴리(비닐 알코올)사이에 상용성이 있음을 나타내고 있다. 고분자내에 수분과 화학가교는 친수성 고분자의 열적 및 물리적 특성에 크게 영향을 미치는데, 폴리(비닐 알코올)/키토산 블렌드의 상용성에 약간의 영향을 미쳤다.

The heat flux on a chip is rapidly increasing with decreasing the size of one. It is necessary to properly cool the high heat flux chip. One of the promising cooling methods is to apply CPL heat pipes with porous materials, for example PVA, polyethylene, and powder sintered metal plate and with microchannels in the evaporator. A small scale CPL heat pipe with PVA as wick was designed and manufactured. Since the height difference between the evaporator and the condenser is a crucial parameter in the CPL heat pipes, the performance of the heat pipes depending on the parameter was investigated. The parameter is higher the performance is better. However, the improvement rate of the performance does not increase the increase rate of the height. In addition to, the parameter effect depending on heat input was investigated.
